what does an internal stimulus do
In physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity.When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it normally elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction.ne in...
